Beware the Bunyip

a paoriginal
I think the Bunyip was conjured up to prevent kids from drowning in creeks and billabongs.
It is certainly something to beware of.

lyrics
Beware the Bunyip
Fishing near the water a tug on the line and then
He was taken by the bunyip and never seen again
Wading in the water she was cooling her heels
A splash in the water and she was a bunyips meal
Be careful near the water
You won’t be seen again
You’ll just end up a pile of bones
In the bunyips den
Skinny dipping in a place she thinks nobody knows
Swallowed by the bunyip no need to spit out the clothes
Fording the river the squatter on his horse
Gulped down by the bunyip it ate both of course
Don’t worry about the crocodiles the bunyip eats them too
And if you go near the waters edge he’ll make a meal of you
So heed my advice don’t go near the creek
Or the last thing we’ll hear from you is when you scream out “EEK!”

I like the idea of a bunyip. An aquatic bogey-man. Every river should have one.

[@pabrizzer]

Friendlier ones maybe.

Everything kids love here - monsters! fear! terror! :) I joined the Seasons the week after this song was first posted, so I'm really really glad you decided to revisit it.....even if it meant going near the water again. Terrific lyrics, terrific eeeeeeek, terrific solo.
